6 Stores not just filenames but the files themselves in a balanced
7 tree. Uses journalling.
8
9 Balanced trees are more efficient than traditional file system
10 architectural foundations.
11
12 In general, ReiserFS is as fast as ext2, but is very efficient with
13 large directories and small files. Additional patches are needed
14 for NFS and quotas, please see <http://www.namesys.com/> for links.
15
16 It is more easily extended to have features currently found in
17 database and keyword search systems than block allocation based file
18 systems are. The next version will be so extended, and will support
19 plugins consistent with our motto ``It takes more than a license to
20 make source code open.''

26 If you like it, you can pay us to add new features to it that you
27 need, buy a support contract, or pay us to port it to another OS.

29 config REISERFS_CHECK
30 bool "Enable reiserfs debug mode"
31 depends on REISERFS_FS
32 help
33 If you set this to Y, then ReiserFS will perform every check it can
34 possibly imagine of its internal consistency throughout its
35 operation. It will also go substantially slower. More than once we
36 have forgotten that this was on, and then gone despondent over the
37 latest benchmarks.:-) Use of this option allows our team to go all
38 out in checking for consistency when debugging without fear of its
39 effect on end users. If you are on the verge of sending in a bug
40 report, say Y and you might get a useful error message. Almost
41 everyone should say N.
42
43 config REISERFS_PROC_INFO
44 bool "Stats in /proc/fs/reiserfs"
45 depends on REISERFS_FS && PROC_FS
46 help
47 Create under /proc/fs/reiserfs a hierarchy of files, displaying
48 various ReiserFS statistics and internal data at the expense of
49 making your kernel or module slightly larger (+8 KB). This also
50 increases the amount of kernel memory required for each mount.
51 Almost everyone but ReiserFS developers and people fine-tuning
52 reiserfs or tracing problems should say N.
53
54 config REISERFS_FS_XATTR
55 bool "ReiserFS extended attributes"
56 depends on REISERFS_FS
57 help
58 Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by
59 the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page, or visit
60 <http://acl.bestbits.at/> for details).
61
62 If unsure, say N.

64 config REISERFS_FS_POSIX_ACL
65 bool "ReiserFS POSIX Access Control Lists"
66 depends on REISERFS_FS_XATTR
67 select FS_POSIX_ACL
68 help
69 Posix Access Control Lists (ACLs) support permissions for users and
70 groups beyond the owner/group/world scheme.
71
72 To learn more about Access Control Lists, visit the Posix ACLs for
73 Linux website <http://acl.bestbits.at/>.
74
75 If you don't know what Access Control Lists are, say N
76
77 config REISERFS_FS_SECURITY
78 bool "ReiserFS Security Labels"
79 depends on REISERFS_FS_XATTR
80 help
81 Security labels support alternative access control models
82 implemented by security modules like SELinux. This option
83 enables an extended attribute handler for file security
84 labels in the ReiserFS filesystem.
85
86 If you are not using a security module that requires using
87 extended attributes for file security labels, say N.
